Centering the containiner is meaningless though if it doesn't have a
fixed width (that's smaller than it's container), and if it does have a
fixed width, than it ruins the whole point of the thing, to allow the
boxes to flow depending on the size of the container.
I guess i'll just have to float to the left.

I have a bunch of boxes that are all a fixed width and a fixed

have one or two they'll be, well, in the center. There's no
float:center as far as I know, but is there some other way to
archive this? I can't make them inline elements because then i'll
lose the fixed height and width, and if I make them display:block
then they won't line up in the rows.

You could center the container holding the floats using margin auto;
however, you would not be able to center the floats within that
container-- it's pick your poison, either float them left, or float
them right.
