I played on a NW one. The buttons are not that great (it can be replaced, btw), and the segmented cp (they are irregular trapezoids, not 2 cubes or retangles) makes difficult to get oriented (sometimes you think you are pulling left, but you are pulling lower left) but it passes quickly as you get used to the controls.

Very nice looking in person, and are 38". too bad the monitors aren't rotable. Dunno the monitor res, though.

"unique" comes to mind. but I wouldn't want to own the 1st 2. Roads Edge is pretty decent though.

the 38" are cool but i would hate to have to replace the monitor in one of those.

honestly the 29" is the most normal.

the drivers arent bad though.

the 50" looks nice if you like projection cabs, but i've never been a fan of projection crts in general.

50" = projection = crap for arcade games. The first two I think look goofy, but that's my opinion. I like the 29" one the best, has kind of a retro look to it and very sleek.

The last two look like Dynamo inspired cabs...

What are they mostly composed of?
Metal?
Plastic?
How big is the first generic cab?

I'd love to have one....

Generic:
laminated wood body, with a plastic front. It looks a bit cheap in person, but I inspected it and it's sturdy.
it's BIG. I would compare it to those Neo 2 slot red cabs.

29":
The standard 29 is only laminated wood. It's funny that people liked that 29" - I think it's fucking horrible. but the "on your face" monitor makes it good to play, though. Don't let the pic fool you: it's a big upright cab.

I loved those Neo 50 when SamSho64 was released around here.

Talking about it, it says it supports low and high resolution. What it means in numbers? Nowhere near vga in high res mode, I presume.

High Rez usually refers to VGA mode (640x480)

So anything from old school to naomi goes there, huh?

And how about those crts? Multi-res too, maybe? They don't say anything spec related, just crap as "compatible with all games" (sic)
