I am considering a setup such as this:
  - At least dual cpu (possibly with 2 cores each)
  - 4GB of RAM
  - 2 disk RAID 1 array for root disk
  - 4 disk RAID 1+0 array for PGDATA
  - 2 disk RAID 1 array for pg_xlog
Does anyone know a vendor that might be able provide such setup?

Wouldn't it be preferable to put WAL on a multi-disk RAID 10 if you had the opportunity? This gives you the redundancy of RAID 1 but approaches the performance of RAID 0, especially as you add disks to the array. In benchmarking, I've seen consistent success with this approach.
