I would argue against this because the arms and breathing machine he is carrying around with him seems far too heavy for a normal human structure to bear for long periods of time.
He could have inhanced what human parts he had left (leg and back muscles) biologically and reinforced his bones (much like Wolverine from the X-Men).
Or he could have replaced/encased his legs and spine to support the top load (think Iron Man here).
I believe that Dexter at least has a Human/Semi-human brain.
He showed signs of extreme emotional discomfert when the General brought up Mimi's father.
I suppose that logical (assuming the bit you are disputing is that his torso is still mostly flesh, not that his arms might still contain bones under the metal. Though the body parts may not be as heavy as they look. If you assume they are mostly steel then yes, he'd need reinforcement of the spine and legs to bear the weight. But the arms might not actually be steel. We assume steel because they are supposed to be super strong. But waht if they are mostly titanium alloy , which is stronger and lighter than steel (just also a lot more expensive). Or even beryllium (even stronger and even lighter, but again even more expensive). Depending on when he did the upgrades, and under whose authority, he may not have had to pay for raw materials, and could afford high ticket.
As for the brain, thats hard to say. In our real life world they are already working on a device to be implanted into the brain and record all of the electrical impulses (and thefore, it is hoped, one's thoughts) for the benefit of Alzheimers patients (some wag named it the "soulcatcher" project) Assuming that Dexter's level of mechanical genius is beyond that of our real world (and it seems to be) he may have perfected something similar, and be running off that (keeping his real brain somewhere safe and out of harms way)
