Here is what we came up with:

Primary Sensors: Cost
Cyberears (replacements) 4000
Cybereyes (replacements) 5000
electronic.
Internal Voice Mask 7000
Gas Spectrometer (5) 10000
Chemical Analyzer (4) 10000
Enhanced Olfactory (5) 5000

The Body:
Dermal (3) 45000
Cyberlimb (4) 400000
Increased Strength Level 2 125000
Hardwires ?????
Running(1), Climbing(1), Lifting (1), Jump(1)
Etq- Street(5), Media (5), Human (5),
Political Leadership (5)
Skillwires (5) 50000
Pheromones (2) 60000

The "Brain"
Headware Memory 600MP 60000

Cityspeak (5), English (5)
Chipjack (10) 10000
Tactical Computer (1) 350000
Encephalon (4) 115000
SPU (Data Management) Level 4 38000
SPU (I/O) 12500
SPU (Math) Level 4 23000

Total Cost: 1,329,500


Well that is where the book items can get you to. Please notice this is
probably STREAMLINE. There are no fancy cyberguns, spurs, etc. Nor are
there any augmented senses. All of these are relatively inexpensive when
compared to the cost of the entire project...

Body: 5 Charisma: Varies 2-5
Quickness: 3 Intelligence: (2) +5 dice task pool
Strength: 3 Willpower: What's That?

The Robot in question is overtly mechanical. We could estimate that a
plasti-skin (As well as Orthoskin) covering and additional cosmetic
modification could be included at a fraction of the total cost. Our
base estimate is approximately 50,000 nuyen.

We have had a decker who paid x4 cost to have a deck placed in a
cyberlimb.
