The equipment you will need is:

1 Wireless router
10 Wireless Network Adapters (USB or PCI)

If you want to share a Internet connection you will also need a broadband Internet Subscription and a Broadband Modem.

You will then connect them like this:
-Cable from the wall to broadband modem
-Ethernet cable from the Broadband Modem to the Routers WAN (Internet) Port
-Install the Wireless Network Adapters in the computers

Thats it......

For desktops, I would suggest buying a 10+ port ethernet router (D-Link/Netgear/Linksys/etc.). It will save you great pain, you won't have noise or range issues, and you will be able to upgrade to 1Gbps or 10Gbps if you are so inclined. Plus, your cheap wired switch will be a league beyond a cheap wireless router of the same price, both in bandwidth and configurability, even if you wind up with an old 10Mbps switch. If you need to go wireless just attach a bridge or add a wireless router, for a couple connections most anything will do. I've linked something like what I would buy below, but at the low end they're all pretty much the same.

If you really need to go all-wireless, you ought to invest in an enterprise wireless AP to get decent performance for that many clients on a single access point. If you need multiple access points then you _really_ need an enterprise wireless switch with several managed APs, or you will spend way too much energy to get it working, and probably still not be happy with it.

Disclaimer: I work for a company that makes this kind of product, but none of the stuff I have linked is manufactured by my current employer.

Equip all computers with wireless G or N cards and then get a wireless router. Setup a small home network on all the computers using the same network name. Make sure the router is set for DHCP use and you're done!
