I’ve done exactly what you describe. Built a reasonably priced TT bike from local second hand / eBay parts with a target of £1000. The ‘Bussell Bike’ linked above was used for inspiration.
I ended up with a Cervelo P2, A900 forks, USE Tulas, Planet X disc and HED3 Trispoke. In reality I think I went over budget by maybe £200 - £250 but I ended up with a pretty decent TT rig.
I’m now done with TT (for now at least) and I’m in the process of trying to break even on the resale, I’ll probably loose out a bit but hopefully I’ll end up not too far off.

Tri rig base bar and omega brakes on an older Cervelo frame is a popular way to get super-bike performance from an older bike. Helmet helps. Speed suit would help. Body position will be the biggest way to gain/lose time.
