Chris, the whole scene file has been posted to 
povray.binaries.scene-files as a stand-alone pov file entitled

Wow, that is hard-core isosurfacing!

Very neat stuff. I see you haven't reached a peak of POVing and slid
downhill yet.  :-)

Could be a nanotech module of some sort. Something that would float around
and connect in certain ways to others like it, forming functional groups
among other groups.

Were this a larger object than that, might improve the rendering to use an
environment surrounding it, esp. if radiosity and reflection are used.

I'm not sure what it is or how you did it, but it's very studly.
Good work.
I'll check out the source and sure to learn from it.

Now this is starting to make me think of the Borg. Given how it looks now,
it's not far off being a Borg cube. With a bit more work you probably could
turn it into one.

A few green lights and some tubes would do the trick. I'm not the one to 
  do it, though ;)

Wow. Really nailed the simulated technology. These crates should be in
the next Doom. Can't make out what should be the crate and what should
be the contents, however. Looks like one big crate with a lid to me.
