I have this cheap case:

 

Nox-Hummer-ZS-1.jpg

 

in the white version it's easy to see in the front the only ventilation, those 2 black strips on the side (there is nothing in the top or bottom for the air to get in) protected with a mesh. Is this enough? should i just go DiY on it and make some holes and put a mesh in the front? as a n00b i cannot see how the front fans can get fresh air with just those small "meshed" strips

Depends what you're putting in it. I'm guessing you aren't loading it full of GPUs and other high heat components, so that will be enough. 2 fans in, one out will be enough for airflow. If you're really worried or your temps turn out to be high, that case has a top fan bracket so you could even install a third pulling in.

I'm keeping everything else the way it was for anyone who might check out my answers in future, but I won't be using LTT.

a fan is cheap, i don´t mind buying one. 

You suggest i leave the back without fans? would that not be worst?

should give positive pressure and help keep dust out
