so does anyone know any procedures off hand that keep the fans running at about 5500? I was thinking burning a DVD or doing some processor-intensive .mp4 encoding, but who knows if those things will be plausible. So ideas for that would be appreciated, and thanks for all the replies.

Open up terminal and type in "yes > /dev/null | yes > /dev/null" without quotes that will rack up the processor usage to ~100% or ~200% depending on how you calculate it which will of course jack up for fans
 
Do you have Apple Care? I'm just curious, because if you don't, I'm wondering if they would have been singing a different tune if you had it.

agreed. Even in the included warranty period they seem to treat those with Apple Care better than those without. Fair? No. True. Seems like it to me.
