there aint too many games you'll be playing on a direct connect or over serial cable these days.. so as that thread reccomends, get yourself a crossover cable (~€7) and hook the two together...
you'll need two network cards of course but dont worry about a hub, pointless extra expense unless your definitly going to have more than the two machines (and have space).
