You still can do that, but computers these days boot a lot quicker.
You can also leave them in sleep mode instead of powered off, in which case they'll be ready almost instantly.
Except the monitor, which for some damn reason takes like 5 seconds to wake up now. WTF is that nonsense. Powering up an LCD and negotiating with the GPU should take microseconds, shouldn't it?
