Hi Ty,
You could style the nice outside border with a margin-left that would
place it outside of the viewport of users running with a window < 1280
pixels wide, or try something even tricker with Javascript. However, in
my opinion most attempts to control the user's experience like this are
misguided and also not worth the trouble. Me, if have a browser window
open wider than 1280 pixels, I probably want to use all 1280+ pixels of
that space for displaying content.
My $.02
