Your idea to have 1 NIC for each of the switches to me sounds like the least
fraught with peril (at least of the free options). In such
a scenario bonding isn't the route you would want to take. You would either
assign 3 different IP addresses to each of the 3 NICs and configure DHCP and
NBD accordingly or create a bridge containing the 3 NICs.
I have to agree with others though; a 48 port switch with gigabit can be
found on ebay pretty cheap. If you look hard enough probably for around the
same it will cost for 3 good NICs
