So what I have is an NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller from my old PC and 3 Corsair AF140L fans. All I need is a PSU. The Sentry 2 uses a 4 pin molex power connection, and I was wondering if this PSU would work.

Maybe? I tried using mine but it didn't work. Then again, I have a cheap $5 one or something.

For 3 fans that's a bit overkill on that power brick since it can supply 90W I would say a 12V 3Amp power brick is more than enough even if you wanted to fill the entire fan controller.
