I was thinking, since a peltier is a solid state device, I really wouldn't need THAT much smoothing would I?

I mean, I could probably get away with around 50,000 uf for 25amps@17v, maybe even less.

I'll test and see if it makes a difference, I have several of those large capacitors, I'll just wire up one at a time and see what difference it makes in the temps on the pelt.
