Did the xbox X logo appear after the error, or does that flubber animation not even appear? That error is usually a launch failure error. The xbox made it to the xbe (dash or game), but something couldn't be done so it fragged. Unfortunately, it is a very general error and hard to pinpoint.
It probably isn't a dashboard read error because games don't even launch. The HDD could be bad, but it would usuallly give a different error for that. Can you hear the HDD or the DVD drive spinning?

hmm... Well, you know the eeprom is fine. It gives error 21, so the HDD and dvd drive is probably ok. It doesn't launch a game?
Mmm, your ram could have gone bad, like once it fills a block everything corrupts. I don't think that is the problem though. It is probably your mobo fried somewhere by over heating or poor air circulation. If your HDD is in fact spinning, then you will probably need to replace your mobo (and hdd since yours is locked to your dead one). You are probably better off buying a used xbox.

error 16 is a dashboard error. If you were getting error 21, and now just got error 16, then your IDE cables are bad, or your HDD is o the brink of death. My guess is that the HDD is corrupt. Since you get error 16, do games load now?

If you take it apart you will void your warranty and no repair will be done from microsoft.
About the dashboard error, I have heard of some people getting dashboard error not because of HW failure but due to some clock setting file being corrupt. If you open up the xbox all warranties will be lost. But seriously, wouldn't this be the perfect time to chip the xbox, install a 200gb HDD and have some fun? :P
