It really depends on what you're looking to get out of your network.
Are you looking to share your internet connection ? Run game servers ? Run any other form of servers ?
What Operating systems are the 3 PCs running.
You will be looking at needing :
3 network cards
3 lengths of RJ45 crossover cable
1 hub
Do you currently have the above ?
Are you looking at having static IPs or using DHCP ?

Mishy, do you really need crossover cables if you have a hub?
For High speed internet sharing i would say go with a Linksys cable router it acts as a firewall readdress all pc using one IP, also some come with anitvirus scanners. Then you could forward ports to run a web server, game server, file/print servee.
BTW as Mishy said, more information is helpful to excalty find out what you would need.
