A spectacle computer
The Compy 386 is Strong Bad's current computer, and in his words, "a spectacle of graphics and sound". This replaced the Tandy 400 after it exploded in "gimmicks". It also seems to have something against The Cheat.
Debut: invisibility

The Real Computer
Like the Tandy 400, this was an almost-reference to a real computer. There was a 386 processor, which was very popular in it's day, but there was no company called "Compy" that made a 386 version of their computer. The "386" logo in "invisibility" looks like the real-life logo of IBM. He seems to be using a DOS, but in "big white face" we see him emulating the old MacOS. This can lead to a huge amount of theories, that serve no usefull purpose to be debated here.
