Actually, everything happens outside the box. The z co-ordinates of the
box are 0 to 1000
        box { <-1000,-1000,0>, 1000  
but the camera is at <0, 0, -10> and the objects are also translated to
negative z.

Try moving the container box to { <-1000,-1000,-1000>, <1000,1000,0>}
(but you then end up with a nasty reflection of the box's top edge.)
