Alrighty then... I'm hoping my 350W PSU is large enough to drive both printer and HB...
My heated bed is a MK3 alu heated, and specs say about 5.4 ohms of resistance when powered by a 24V supply... that makes around 107W... Adding the 160W of the Ultimaker should still leave me with enough... hopefully

Forget the fans. It's mostly the steppers. There is a reason why they get hot (up to 60°C). Daid recently posted that the standard adjustment of the steppers is about 1.1A. As it is driven with 19V (in steps down to 12V and something like 2-3V, but I think the voltage is not transformed but divided, isn't it?) this makes something around 20W per stepper. And as there are 5 steppers enabled and the electronics itself needs 14-17W the number makes sense...
But don't forget that I measured on the primary side of the PSU. The power factor of 0.86 might also be overestimated. I think the accuracy of the measurement device relates mostly to the power measurement and maybe less to the measurement of the power factor.
