Thanks for your reply
thanks for letting me know if the setup would work
sure you can listen to the station
It's already up at goomradio.com
just search nickg
it's the only station on that search result
the stream is up and running music is playing
all I gotta do is just add in the content, upload/ record the voice tracks (when I talk on the station) and produce the shows to air on the station
there won't be differance it will sound like anyother radio station
again thanks for your opinion

You would want a 3rd computer (server more so) that can handle tons of hits per hour, a reliable power source to your home, and reliable internet as well as power backups, etc so that the production/stream doesn't have any interruptions.
Also things factor on your target audience, how frequent do you want to broadcast (24/7 stream?)
You've barely touched the tip of the iceberg to get a good idea on getting things going. Can you afford the power and a dedicated IP for the server for streaming content? Some T1/T3 lines const thousands depending on location per month alone.
You may want to think things through more before you rush out to buy anything and double check what you want to budget, and what (if any) type of return do you want, or do you have money to blow to give people free content?
The above will help you decide, then once you cover that you can get better answers and even much more specifics for the equipment you'll need.

Thanks so much for your reply
the station stream isn't managed by me
it's provided by goom radio for my station
basiclaly all I'm doing Is recording voice tracks/ shows
then uploading the content to the servers where the stations content is stored
I took everything all the costs into account
I just needed to know if this setup would work to record voice tracks and shows
it's kind of like a podcasting studio
