Looking for some rack mounting rails for relatively cheap.

I recently went on this crusade myself, and settled on these:

They are decent quality, but come with pretty much no documentation, so perfect if you've installed rails before, somewhat of a challenge if you haven't (according to some reviews).

Not sure if theres a different term for it, but I'm looking for the type that support the unit from the bottom rather than bolting to the sides.

Ah, I think you're looking for rack mount shelf rails.

I also grabbed this one recently, but haven't installed it yet, so I can't vouch for it's performance:

These are static, but there are also shelves that slide out like the side mount rails would. Not sure which one you're after, but those type seem to be pretty expensive from what I've seen. (Generally starting at ~$100)

For the price difference, I'd personally drill holes in my equipment and pop-rivet some rails on there, haha.

Bitcoinstore has some, I believe, although they are pricier than those linked here.
