My first question would be how many is several? There are a number of things to take into consideration with what you're looking at, but mostly it's making sure each machine's output only sees the input impedance of the speakers. In other words, daisy chaining some Y adaptors won't really cut it.
That said, you get into buying resistors and rheostats and needing a small power supply. Then you build it. And I'm not sure you can do that cheaper than you can buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Nady-MM-242-Channel-Mini-Mixer/dp/B0009XH4HU/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1353495630&sr=8-13&keywords=audio+mixer But that's just my two cents.
