I am no expert, but I like to share what I know..
I've been investigating this myself. I got my paws on a few free matching
set nics and am trying to figure how to do it.
So, one way is to have two cheap nics in every PC and run them in a ring or
bus topology. Alternatively, you could choose NICs that can transmit in
two directions.
A token ring would be useful there.
The popular thing is a hub and cards because of the flexibility it
offers. An external cable modem is often one station on the hub, and the
hub can offer internet to the whole LAN.
It costs just a little bit more than you want to spend to make a network
work, but if you are patient, you can always get it for nothing!
hehehe Keep studying!

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
