In the process of shopping round for some fast exit hosting and realized I had some unanswered questions. What's the minimum system requirements people would consider for hosting a fast exit relay?

For a Gbit/s relay: At the moment 8GB or RAM are enough, better go with 16. And any modern CPU with AES-NI crypto acceleration.
