Wow, 3000$ for at home coding. If you are not doing anything which requires 4-10 cores etc. kind of stuff, my guess is that you should buy a decent laptop along with a docking station (or any decent desktop will do) and install LinuxMint on it. Its ubuntu based but I guess is slightly more user friendly.

I am generous with the budget because hopefully this computer will be used to convert my side project into something more commercial soon :)

As for the docking station idea, that is certainly worth looking into. I could just buy awesome dual monitors and use the docking station with the laptop. But for some reason, I love the feel of good old desktop CPUs :))
