Real easy question here: What's the easiest and cheapest way to connect three machines together for a little LAN gaming? All three computers have Ethernet cards that support an RJ-45 connection.

How much would a cheap hub cost?

A cheap Linksys or Dlink 5 port with uplink only cost about 30-45 bucks new and around 20-30 bucks used

Will that only connect three machine? Or would it do four?

A cheap hub. That's pretty much it, three NICs, three cables, one hub. Frag fest.
