Do the resistors need to be able to handle high voltage???
I would like to use the 100K 1/2W resistors from radioshack because it is 2 minutes from my house.
Also, this is my first time using voltage balencing resitors for caps. Where do I put them??? I remmember you said I need three.
For the diagram above (with the three in parallel and three in series) you would need three resistors - you put then in series from +ve to -ve, with their junctions connected to the junctions of the capacitors.
The resistors need to be able to handle the voltage, and also dissipate the heat they generate - you can simply work that out from VxV/R - for 300V it comes to just under 1W, I would advise using two watt resistors!.
