Adding the resistor requires only a very little bit of soldering work, so it should not be too challenging for the average instructables audience.
First break the circuit by cutting one of the wires running from the board to the fan. We're not disassembling a bomb, so red or black are both ok.
Strip both ends of a small section of isolation, and solder one end to the resistor.
Slip the tight fitting tube all the way over the resistor and solder the other end.
Then slide the tube back, covering all bare metal.
Realy posh tinkerers would use shrink tubing, naturally.
As the last image shows the result is an odd whit tube that fits snug in the corner of the case.
