So, the superdrive on my 24inch iMac went out, so I opened it up to take the drive out so I could order a new one and now the fan is on high and will not turn off!! I've tried resetting the SPU or whatever and I've repaired permissions about a billion times. What could this be?! How could I fix it?

I'm afraid you may have messed up something. Unfortunately, you have also voided your warranty by opening up the computer. Your best bet now is to open it up again and try to fix something, or, take it in and pay for service and/or hope that they don't realize you've tried to service non user-serviceable parts.
