Well, actually depends that you're putting into the "end", since BOINC will atleast initially crunch seti1-wu.

But anyway, they should fix all important BOINC-bugs & finnish making a real validator, and afterwards hopefully use a month to fine-tune benchmarks/crediting... So I wouldn't expect a release before in February 2004.
Afterwards, it really depends on if they gives an extra month to crunch after stopping delivering wu or not, but if they do it should be 30.04.2004 at 23:59:59 UTC.

Of course, 17.05.2004 is 5th anniversary from official launch, so this can also be the cut-off-date.

This is probably the best date for the Mainstream News Media to pick this up because of the Lead In Lines like this:

"5 years after launching one of the best efforts in the search for ET and the most successful deployment of what was then a new Technology using the idle time of individual PC's called Distributed Computing, the SETI@Home Project re-invents itself with a new and improved version of the Technology that is open for all projects to help Mankind."

The articles and interviews with Dr Anderson and staff can go on from there.
