Connecting a regular RGBW strip to PC case via a 3rd party fan controller

I found a pretty nice RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) LED strip on my house. I really want to put it into my PC case since it looks empty and dark. The only light in the case is from the case fans and the little Gigabyte logo on the GPU. I have an external fan hub/controller connected via SATA from the PSU with a remote to control the fan speed, brightness, and to cycle through different colour modes. It has more empty fan headers in it and I want to connect the LED strip to one of the headers. This would mean that I can turn the fans and the strip off with the remote that came with it.

P.S. - My PSU also has extra molex connectors if that helps...

I have attached pictures of the fan hub, connections already with the fan hub (the red cable has a female SATA on the other end which is connected to an empty SATA cable from my PSU and the black ones are the fan cables), the remote and also the LED strip.
