Rumours of Valve's 'Steam Box' games console are picking up momentum following recent rumors of the game developer's willingness to enter the hardware market.
The latest whisperings online have revealed a modular console design patent filed by Valve which would let users swap out components to change their gaming experience – such as swapping out thumbsticks for trackballs.
Kotaku has also uncovered a possible photograph of a prototype Steam Box build, courtesy of Valve employee Greg Coomer's Twitter feed. The mystery box's specs line up with the final console's rumoured spec list – an Intel i7 processor, 8GB RAM and Nvidia graphics – but we're still taking this with a dose of salt for the time being.
