This might be pretty simple, actually...  Untested, but give:

#container {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

a try.

Theory: once you float the container, it will shrink to fit all the other 
boxes.  
I'm pretty sure that the rules of float will still keep the three floated 
columns next to each other. And then the margin: auto centers the whole thing.

If you need the main container wider than the three columns, you can add 
another container div (#column_container or similar).
