First I would scream ASSIMILATION!ASSIMILATION! and then go to the nearest drugstore and get myself some Excedrin.

YES, YES, WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST SHADOW OF A DOUBT, YES!

umm yes, I'd go for robot arms and legs and neural implants, then I could surf the net instead of being bored shitless in mathematics classes.

Though I'd only go for brain-net if there was no chance whatsoever of people hacking into my head (for their safety).

I want to replace my right eye and add a camera function to it, that would be sweet.
Right arm would have a retractable blade built in like optimus's in transformers (2008).
Neural net implants, it would make my physics exams much easier.
Legs robotic, fast and agile.
Fingers with retractable claws to climb buildings.

Epic.

No thank you. I keep my characters entirely flesh-and-bone in Shadowrun for a reason...

I like my human limbs and I don't want anything in my brain so no I don't think I would get implants. Now if I say lost a limb that would be a different story.

I'd like to keep my human body as long as possible. When I'm about 70 then I'll go for a full cyborg conversion simply as a way of surviving.

Yes, but don't completely replace my body, just enhance it. I don't want to die if I get hit by an EMP or if someone throws a magnet at my head.

Also, I'd like to keep my brain, since computers can't do any of that anyway. Maybe just add a small calculator chip to it somehow, then you've got human creativity and intuitiveness, with machine precision and calculation.

Maybe remove a useless organ and replace it with a small computer, recharged from the mains via a socket on my back a-la matrix? Why not hard-wire contact lenses into my eyes that give me a HUD and enhanced vision?

Man, I should so be a spy when I get all that.

Gunter Herman? No way.
JC Denton (or even better, Motoko Kusanagi) - absolutely! Where do I sign up?

I think a lot of the best implants for primarily-biological cyborgs are cranial stuff such as memory extensions, ocular implants (camera, zoom, alternative vision modes etc) and direct human-computer neural interface. The physical stuff is less interesting over all.

For fans of Ghost in the Shells, the human brain is kept intact in a shell, or cyborg encasing if you prefer, so yeah, like the developer of HAL-5 said, it's easier to use a human brain instead of an AI, hence Cyborg is possible.

I would like cybernetic arms, especially if some of the replacements had miniguns or missles as part of it!! Would be good for the military too "Look Ma! No gun!"

I think if it were a prosthetic limb I'd want it as usable as possible so if it is a hihly mechanical thing then better than a lump of plastic that doesn't bend and of course only have it to replace something in case of an accident, I'm not going around hacking anything off just for the sake of it.

Playing with my brain would be something to be a lot more cautious about though.
