Greetings everyone!
My apologizes for silly question.
I ordered 26 antminers S3 and they are almost here.
How do I set up my mining rig?
What do I need except PSUs?

Thanks in advance!

Dogie's guides are pretty comprehensive and will give you the information you need to get your miners up and running.  Having written that, you sunk a pretty significant amount of coin into hardware without having the most basic knowledge of what you were getting yourself into?

Do you even have the available power to drive all of them?  At 340W each from the wall, you're looking at 8840W minimum available power - or at least 2  220V/30A circuits.  Not to mention, you'll need enough network switches, cabling, cooling, to handle them all.

OP, I hope you are not trying to run them in your home, as not many residential house can provide that much power and you need further more electricity for your other electrical appliances.
These miners will also emit lots of heat and so you should monitor the room temp closely to see if you need better cooling or air-conditioning.

That looks like a nice guide. Didn't know it (and others) existed. Neat.

Why did you buy them before knowing how to set up your mining rig?

I'm sort of curious about this too. After all, 26 Antminer S3s is a pretty big investment. Heck, even just one Antminer S3 would be a pretty big investment for most people.
