COAX Cable and 2 computers

The terminators and T things are necessary. If you don't use them there would be reflections on the line due to impedance mismatch, causing slow speeds or possibly no speeds.

minor nit:

Coax and Ethernet are apples and oranges

Coax and Twisted Pair are physical layer (1)

Ethernet is data-link Layer (2)

So it really should be purchase 10BaseT NICS instead of 10Base2 (coax)

Carry on.
