I opened it, and have a hi-res picture of it, but nowhere to put it. It has a pheonix bios chip in it. It has no video output, although it appears to have a place on one end of the board for a PCI riser board to connect to. I'm beginning to think that is how Intrusion would change the board by plugging in to that. I wish I could tell you what kind or model of board it was, but there seems to be no distinguishing marks in that aspect. I can't imagine Intrusion themselves made the board, but it could be considering the little daughter boards connected to it all have Intrusion marked right on the board.
