0@NateEldredge, Maybe a concrete example of a space that is isomorphic to the Stone-Cech compactification of the separable Hilbert space. But in general every information on this topic... – 2012-07-13

1"Every information on this topic" - does this strike you as a *reasonable* request? – 2012-07-13

0Also, what counts as a concrete description? Have you thought about the Stone-Cech compactification of the real line? – 2012-07-13

Hilbert space $l^2$ is homeomorphic to product space $\mathbb R^\infty$, but Stone-Cech compactification of that space is not very nice either. Probably the best thing is to read about the Stone-Cech compactification in general. Check (haha) your library for The Stone-Cech Compactification by Russel Walker.
