I like this.  I did a recursive cubes cube (on my website - source included),
and found that putting lights inside the cube and having something for them
to shine on like a floor and wall gave some really interesting results.  

I've just had a look at my own source code, and it'd be a lot quicker with
boxes instead of planes, that bugger took about 14 hours to render, maybe
I'll optimize the code some and see how much quicker it is with boxes just
for the hell of it.
