above is link to info on this controller board.
you will want enough current to power steppers and heater. heater uses about 4amps at 20v depending on resistance. 5-5.6ohms. you will want at least 7amps for motors and heater, as well as powering the cpu logic. most laptop supplys are 18v-19.5v
if you need a heated bed then you will want a seperate 12v supply. best source is lcd tv's at least 10amps 12v. also lcd tv supply of at least 7amps if you want to power just reprap machine.
