Is there a reason you are s\choosing between these two? If  you have access
to a Fry's Electronics, they were selling the Orchid 12 Meg for $199. last
time I checked.  I have a couple and so far no problems.  Nothing I've read
indicates a noticeable difference in performance between the various brands.
The Canopus card has the fan and tv out, but for the price difference you
could buy another brand and add a fan, with a nice chunk of change left over
(unless you really want the tv out).
